Mystery Man's page

I have most of Ssscaly Thingsss (Part 2 of Mere of Dead Men) from Dungeon #70 converted but it is by no means OGL compliant. I wouldn't know how to make it so.

"As it turns out, that describes Wil Save pretty well. Most people like it.

Commence flames and accusations... : )"

Why flame when I can just ask you for some proof?

He doesn't have to proof diddly squat.

Lest we forget the silent majority who either doesn't care, or who likes the article and therefore has no reason to whine. The burden of proof is on the one who does the whining.

I don't think I would want to get on your bad side, Samantha. LOL. Look out, boys, strong woman coming through.

Or someone who needs to get a life!

Anyone who wears that much hate on their sleeve over one person who they don't even know. Anyone who spends that much time writing a treatise to get rid of one single little article in the back of a magazine that harms no one. Well, this person really should think about re-examining their life.

"Erik, James, Lisa. Its time to send Wil home to momma and put Wil Save is the trash heap of dumb marketing ideas that sounded good at the time. You are known by the company you keep. However much fun the Wil Save controversy may be in generating posts, if you look at Wil Save and Wil Wheaton, you will, I believe, find someone with whom you do not want Paizo's name associated. You can find a better mascot (note Wil Save's constant mention on the cover of Dungeon).

Please. Get rid of Wil Save.

Oh my God! You would think by this statement the Wil is down in the Arctic clubbing baby seals and eating them raw! Please, get over yourself.

Your last post explicitly asks James to actively work to remove the article.
I can only hope he is reading my posts too.

I have a feeling the article isn't going anyplace anytime soon. ;)

205 posts and still going.

Yep, that article was a waste of print<----sarcasm :)

Thought I'd start a new one since the current is taking forever to load.

The only problem I have with the article this month is mentioning Steve Jackson and Gary Gygax in the same breath. I friggin hate GURPS. Other than that the article is an entertaining read IMO.

My two cents,

Wil Wheaton's articles are all about one thing. Wil Wheaton. They really, IMO, have very little to do with gaming. Gaming is just an excuse for Wil Wheaton to talk about Wil Wheaton.

So, not only is Wil Save irrelevant to gaming in a direct way, it is irrelevant to gaming even tangentally. Gaming is just the vehicle for Wil Wheaton to tell you what he did on such and such a date or occasion. This kind of article couldn't even make it in Entertainment Magazine or that sort of celeb watching magazine, as it has no general interest unless you are interested in Wil Wheaton as Wil Wheaton.

Wil Wheaton was obviously given Wil Save because of his celebrity. He has no gaming credentials other than having rolled dice like millions of other gamers. His only distinguishing feature is a minor celebrity, now in the past. This is no reason to continue to indulge his musings on what it is like to be Wil Wheaton.

But it is only one page. Why should anyone care? If you don't like it, don't...

Obviously an article that has generated 200 posts needs to stick around for awhile hm? :)

All I know is, I just recently bought a subscription to Dungeon, because of (and only because of) Wil Save.

That's an odd reason to get a subscription to a magazine. You don't park outside his house with a pair of binoculars do you?

:)

Sure! Skip Williams is currently at work on a Forgotten Realms adventure in #121. We're also tinkering with up to 5 additional FR adventures to appear over the course of the next few issues beyond that, including one "super-special" three-part adventure by Eric L. Boyd.

It's taken us some preparation, but things are finally getting into gear insofar as the Realms and the magazine is concerned.

That's awesome news Erik!

I could take or leave this article. It's only one page and the last one to boot.

I just want my DnD.

Waiting patiently for more Forgotten Realms adventures. Any idea when we'll see some more?

thanks

*bamf!*

Just popping in to say Hi!
